Matthew 6:26
26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?

As Jesus preaches, He draws the Church's attention to birds soaring above. Birds do not have money to go grocery shopping, yet God blesses them with instincts to acquire food. Birds cannot afford to pay mortgage, but somehow God keeps their nests insured. Birds do not attend aviation school, yet God strengthens their wings to fly. Why then do we worry? If He can keep birds in the sky surely He can elevate you above your worries.

John 8:58

Seasons change. People change. Moods change. One person will not: Jesus (Hebrews 13:8). His continuality is so great, that in the past He is, in the present He is, and in the future He is. He is an ongoing Source of Glory; a never ending Root of Redemption. He is God. He cared too much for you to let your Pastor be God; a Pastor would disregard air if you disregarded Church. His love was too great to let your mother have the God title; your Mother may forget to bless you if the rest of the world has her attention. Your brother is not worthy of Godship; his anger could take you out before his mercy could bring you out. Jesus’ thoughts were too sincere and his love was too great; He had to be God and no one else.

John 16:33
33“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

Tribulations are but triumphs to the believer; it matters not what the enemy throws into the ring of life; Jesus has not only overcome the enemy, but the ring itself. This is a wrestling match where our Partner cannot be beaten, and neither can we.

Revelation 21:4
4He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”
4He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”
God has a place for all of His Kingdom. He allows ministers to perform certain tasks while Angels cover others. Some things, however, are set aside for Him. Angels will not pass you a tissue, neither will Ministers preach a sermon of renewed hope on that day. Instead, God Himself will personally hold us one by one and wipe away all the tears we have ever shed. Never send an Angel to perform the love of a Father.

Psalms 127:2
2In vain you rise earlyand stay up late,toiling for food to eat—for he grants sleep toOr eat— / for while they sleep he provides for those he loves.

Who wouldn't serve a God like this? He is so much in love with you, that He does not promise to give you rest, but He vows to give you sleep. Rest without sleep is only good for so long. Rest can be acquired by not sleeping, but God is so much the Good Shepherd, that He will give you sleep while the world gives you hell.
